problem #2

Aug 152006

S-TYPE 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Car only had 36,000 miles @ beginning of problems. Car began jerking hard to the left. I almost hit an 18-wheeler head-on. I just heard that a recall exists on the suspension, ball joints, etc.this is weird, since I have had the car back to the shop @ least 5 times, and none of this was fixed. People could have been killed. I have filed a consumer complaint. Hopefully, Jaguar will correct this problem, before someone is hurt. My car is undriveable at this time.

S-TYPE 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 54,000 miles
Very loud "clunk" noise is heard in the wheels when driving, and I am told it's the ball joint/suspension that's the culprit. Have yet to have this problem fixed but I understand it's a very dangerous problem that could cause accident if this portion breaks.
